Automatic Frost Free

Operation

The freezer and refrigerator sections are

completely frost-free. The evaporator coi! in the back walt of the freezer sec-

tion collects the frost Under normal

operating conditions, you'llnever have to defrost the unit, because it'sauto- matic.

Air Circulation

Air to cool the condenser is drawn in the

grille, at the bottom front, passes over the condenser, and is then exhausted

through the same grille. Therefore, the unit is designed to be enclosed com-

pletely at the top, back and sides for the total built-in look. Do not block airflow

through the toe gdlle at bottom front of unit.

Sounds

Your new unit may be replacing a "mailer refrigerator of different design

,d/or a product which operated less efficiently We have taken steps in prod- uct desfgn and operation which will con- tinue to provide our customers the highest quality product, one which is energy efficient and operates as eco- nomically as possible. With this new design, you may hear sounds which are unfamiliar to you, yet quite normal.

Polyurethane foam insulation, while a much better insulator, does not have the sound-absorbing characteristic of fiberglass insulation. Sounds may be amplified further by the wall andtor floor acting as a sounding board.

Because your product is designed to provide greater efficiency, the com- pressor operates at a much higher speed than previously, This results in a high speed hum which will be more noticeable than the sound produced by a s!ower speed compressor. In addition, the compressor's increased torque may cause some vibration during start up or shut down of the unit.

The refrigerant flowing through the ,frigeration tubing may create "water Jnning" or "gurgling" sounds during

operation and shortly after shut down.

You may also hear the ice falling out of the automatic Ice Maker or the activa-

tion of the water solenoid valve during an ice making cycle.

Periodically, your refrigeratorwilt auto_ matically defrost When this happens, you may hear "dripping water" and "sizzling" sounds.

None of these sounds are unusual, and will soon become familiar. They indicate the unit is operating and performing as designed
